PREFACE 

''Fundamentally history is the connected growth of ideas and insti- 
tutions. ' ' 

A comprehensive study of history includes more than 
the mere description of a people's achievements or 
progress ; it also includes a study of the conditions that 
made possible certain achievements, and the means 
used to attain certain results. The study of history is 
not to learn facts simply as facts, but to understand the 
causes and results of the great movements in the life of 
a people. Such a study of history cannot be made by 
the use of one brief text-book ; outside reading is neces- 
sary. A nation's history cannot be told in a few hun- 
dred pages, hence the text-book must be supplemented 
by the use of reference books. The number need not be 
large; a few well selected volumes will answer. The 
Topical Analysis is meant to both assist in gaining a 
comprehensive understanding of history, and to direct 
the reading outside the text-book used by the class. A 
trial of this plan of the study of history will soon con- 
vince any teacher and class of its merits over the one 
book method. The use of a well selected library adds 
interest to the work, both in the preparation of the les- 
son and in the recitation. The library references given 
do not pretend to be exhaustive, but consist of the best 
High School text-books and the smaller reference books
